Illinois Thundercats Sightings

Tony_Bacala · 02-05-2011, 09:37 PM

Use this thread to post what you find, and where! Let your fellow collectors know what's up. Minor local discussion is ok, but try to keep it focused on the toys and finding them locally.

BHiga6181 · 02-07-2011, 03:28 PM

I cant wait to post about finding the new Bandai toys. The new 4" animated style looks great but the 8" Classic Lion O looks amazing!!!

Pink Panthro · 02-07-2011, 11:48 PM

This is going to be awesome.

Razorclaw · 02-08-2011, 07:40 PM

Thundercats!!!!!

JimmyPSHayes · 02-09-2011, 12:02 AM

I know they're not out yet, but I've started looking all ready!

BHiga6181 · 02-15-2011, 04:29 PM

HAYES!!!!

Im still excited, wish the classic was in 6" or 3 3/4". I will most likely only get Mumm-Ra's and Lion Os from the Classic and new lines. And of course Snarf and Ma-Mutt

Side note - Anyone with the following either loose or boxed but MINT and Complete Im looking for to purchase -

Miniature Cat's Lair
Miniature Mumm-Ra's Crypt
Miniature Lion O
Anything Snarf or Ma-Mutt

JimmyPSHayes · 02-15-2011, 07:23 PM

HIGA!!!!!!
-Have you checked Darrell's toy store out by him? They used to have a STON of Thundercat stuff out there!

BHiga6181 · 07-30-2011, 02:38 PM

Thundercats premiere was AWESOME!!!!! Now where are some toys?!?!?! I got the SDCC Lion O and Icon Heroes Mumm Ra and Ma Mutt, they rock too!!!

LordLionO · 08-01-2011, 05:02 PM

I feel like I want to hunt for these everyday until I find them.

LordLionO · 08-02-2011, 12:14 PM

Hey guys, just a heads up, my Kmart had some of the figures listed in stock, so I bit the bullet and ordered 6" modern Lion-O for in store pick up later today!

#$@#% !!!

It really was a bullet as about an hour later they sent me an e-mail canceling my order.

I checked my account and they still have a pending charge listed, so I called my bank and they said to call back if the charge doesn't go away and is posted and they will take it from there. I called K-Mart and they said that the charge should be dropped from my account in 1-5 business days. What...the....hell.

I figured I was taking a chance with Kmart, but thought I had better odds since someone else already ordered from Kmart with in-store pick up and it worked fine, but not this time.

Ramivic · 08-02-2011, 06:32 PM

Hello fellow Chicago Thundercats fans.
I have checked TRU in Melrose Park and nothing. Manager said that maybe Wednesday afternoon in the collectibles aisle.
My wife is currently at the Kmart in Forest Park on Roosevelt and DesPlaines and she found them. She said Wilykat, Tygra, Wilykit, Panthro are on the shelves - the others are MIA or gobbled up already. This was at 6:23PM Tuesday the 2nd of August.

Target in Melrose Park is zip. Walmart in Northlake is zip. Hope this helps! Get to Kmart today!!

Ramivic · 08-02-2011, 07:10 PM

EDIT - Kmart in Forest Park basically has them all except for Cheetara. My wife found Lion-O and Mumm-Ra. They are next to Thor! GO NOW!

AgentQ5 · 08-02-2011, 08:01 PM

I found both 8" & 6" figures at a local south side Chicago toy shop! Monster Island Toys.

Ramivic · 08-02-2011, 09:11 PM

Wow what a nite - okay these are the stores I hit today

Toys r Us on 81st and Cicero - nothing
KMart at 70th and Pulaski - nothing
Target at 95th and Pulaski - nothing
KMart at 95th and Pulaski - nothing $$
Kmart at 51st and Kedzie - nothing
Walmart at IL 64 North Ave and US 20 Lake - nothing
Toys R Us at North Ave in Melrose Park - nothing $$$
Target at Winston Plaza in Melrose Park - nothing
KMart at Roosevelt and DesPlaines in Forest Park - all figs 3 each no Cheetara.

$$ was told by clerk to try online kiosk for figures and ship to home. I tried it and it shows all figures are ready for shipping and with shipvantage for 30 days free shipping. Let's see if they ship them. Yesterday they were unavailable.

$$$ manager at Melrose Park claims a truck will be delivering new product around noon.

Hyper Jaguar · 08-02-2011, 09:17 PM

I live in Indiana, and Kmart's website says that some stores in my area have them in stock (meaning store availability). Does that mean that they really have them in stock?

That is so funny AgentQ5 - I run all over the city/suburbs and there is a store about 1/2" mile from me!! Hah!

How much were the figures? Was there a big markup?

Monster Island Toys is located at 33rd and Halsted.

AgentQ5 · 08-03-2011, 08:27 AM

The markup is not that bad 6" figures are 20.99 and 8" figures are 21.99. I picked both classics figures. I must say they look GREAT!!!!

That's what happened to me (see my posts above) and they didn't.

jmfoxfire · 08-03-2011, 09:34 PM

anyone in lake county fine any thundercats toys yet?

Ramivic · 08-04-2011, 11:25 AM

KMart at Kimball/Addison has them. They also have the Sword
Of Omens plus the 8" figures. Time is 11:23AM on 8/4/2011!

Picked up the two that I wanted!!! Used mygofer to see if they had them in stock last night and they did!!

Now I can sleep!!

Thanks for this board and glad that I could contribute my findings!!!

Ramivic · 08-04-2011, 12:37 PM

at Kmart (right off the I-94 Addison exit) at Kimball and Addison

This was about an hour ago! Sword of Omens too. No Thundertank.

I might have to take the trip out there today after work.

Did they have a lot of the figures there?

LordLionO - I saw two Panthros, two Mumm-Ras, four Lion-O's, two Tygras in 6", in 8" three Tygras, 1 Lion-O, and one Sword of Omens. I ordered the Cheetara last night via the Kmart/MyGofer website and they had it.

LordLionO · 08-04-2011, 02:48 PM

Well....talk about obsessive I figured what the hell, and went on my lunch break. And it took the whole hour just to get there, buy and come back.

I picked up 4" Lion-O, Mumm-Ra and 6" Lion-O.

Thanks again for the tip Ramivic!

You are most welcome, LordLionO!

BHiga6181 · 08-05-2011, 02:29 PM

Hell Yeah!!!

I love them...now I just need a 4" Mumm-ra the Ever Living w/ Ma Mutt.

Did you try TRU in Gurnee? Picked up the classic Lion-O, and 6" Lion-O and Mumm-Ra there yesterday.

77kustoms · 08-07-2011, 09:39 AM

My sister in law just rolled through a pallet in the back of bloomingdale Kmart. The only things that came in were a.case of 6" figs (I left the liono on the pallet in back) and 1 case of tanks.

I went back yesterday, just to see if the 4" were out. No luck, but they still had an 8" Tygra, 6" Lion-O and 6" Panthro.

These were buried with the (I think) Duke Nukem, Jonah Hex and other adult-collectible style figures. For anybody else that found the 4" figures at TRU, is this where you are finding them or are they by the Ben10 and Power Ranger figures like at Kmart?

EverLiving · 08-09-2011, 05:59 PM

For any South-siders out there: The Kmart on 95th, just east of Cicero, had two full pegs of 4", 3 pegs of 6", the deluxe sword of omens and a couple of tanks. The TRU on Cicero in Hometown had all the deluxe, vehicles, role play items and 6". Didn't see the classics at either store.

LordLionO · 08-10-2011, 11:07 AM

Thanks for the heads up! I've been on the look out for the deluxe figs! Need me a Grune and a Mumm-Ra!

LordLionO · 08-11-2011, 01:02 AM

Well, stopped at that TRU and it looks like I missed out on all the deluxe figs as they were long gone. Did at least pick up the lizard cannon.

77kustoms · 08-11-2011, 07:42 PM

Tru in aurora had 4" & 6" figs, lizzard cannons and tanks. I picked up 4" kit & Kat as I think they will look better and more cub/ kitten like with the 6". I also picked up 8" Lion o. 2 8" Tygra and 1 Lion o left.

Bill, if you read this they didn't have ever living mumm-ra.

JimmyPSHayes · 08-12-2011, 04:36 PM

TRU on 75th & Lemont in Downers had all the toys. Found a classics Tygra, but they didn't have Lion-O. Gonna try and resist paying too much for him at Wizard World on Sunday.

I went yesterday. Outside of the 14" Lion-O and 1 guy charging $80 for the SDCC one: I didn't see any Thundercats.

EverLiving · 08-13-2011, 09:24 PM

Scored today @ the TRU in Hometown on Cicero. 8" Lion-O, Grune and Lizard Canon. There were plenty of classics, 4" and vehicles. The only deluxe were 1 Grune and 1 Lion-O.

LordLionO · 08-15-2011, 10:47 AM

Great....I missed out again. I was there on Friday and they didn't have that stuff.

At least you found Classic Lion-O. Oh well, I found Classic Tygra yesterday.

77kustoms · 08-16-2011, 04:57 PM

1 classics Lion-O, 2 Tygra at tru in aurora.

jmfoxfire · 08-18-2011, 03:06 PM

Walmart in round lake IL has the Thundercats toys! =^.^=
i got me the sword of sword of omens and when i got home i put glow in the dark paint on it.

EverLiving · 08-18-2011, 05:59 PM

TRU in Orland had plenty of deluxe, including Grune & Mumm-Ra, and Classics.

Everything was in the power rangers/Ben10 aisle

JimmyPSHayes · 08-18-2011, 10:57 PM

Is Lion-O Classics short packed, or is everyone just buying him?

LordLionO · 08-19-2011, 10:57 AM

I think everyone's just buying him because they're supposedly evenly packed.

LordLionO · 08-19-2011, 05:55 PM

Anyone who needs classic Lion-O, I found one in store in the Chicago area and hid it. I want to help a fellow member, cause I know a lot of scalpers hit our area, so if interested PM me for the info.

77kustoms · 08-20-2011, 07:08 AM

The classics are packed evenly, 2 lion-o/ 2 Tygra per case. It is a safe bet people are only buying Lion-O, I did the same

but not to be sinister I wasn't feeling tygras shinyness and had money for only one.

77kustoms · 08-27-2011, 07:13 AM

1 of each thunder racer at aurora tru. 1 4" Mull ra 2 liono. 5 8" tygra 1 liono.

BHiga6181 · 08-28-2011, 07:52 PM

I want that Storm Charger of MummRa's from the last episode!!

BHiga6181 · 08-29-2011, 11:39 PM
